Deputy Sheriff Laing, of Cheyenne
county, Neo., has been on the trail of an
escaped horse thief named Shaw for the
past ten days. Mr.. Laing was in the city
yesterday enroute homie, having aban-
doned the pursuit at Denver. While here
he learned that his game had been trapped
by a Rocky mountain detective on Blake
street, in Colorado's capital.
Laing came upon Shaw at a camp
about fifty miles from the railroad. AS
he finished reading his warrant to the
outlaw, by the dim light of a campfire.
the thief fed into the bushes lining a
neighboring stream and could not be
found.
The deputy did not lose the scent until
he had pursued the fugitive for several
days, when he must have passed the OBJ
lect of his search while travelling upon the
cars.
Shaw's offense was an ~aggravating one.
He accepted the hospitality of an aged
farmer, and rising early left the country
behind his hosts team. The graugers
were justly indignant, and would have
iiynched the miscreant had they succeeded
In eftecting his capture.

Station, a few miles west of this city.
They were making for the mountains with
all possible speed.
After a fierce engagement of the am,
bush or skirmish order, among the knolls
and rocks, five Indians were killed and
the horses recovered. Two of the enemy's
force escaped alive. One white man was
killed outright and another seriously
wounded. This incident made Jim aver
more popular than ever, and although
this episode did not terminate Indian
troubles it somewhat lessened the ire
quency of the raids made by the savages.
Moore was frequently offered an enor-
nous salary to take charge of government
stock, but steadfastly refused, always say
ing that "a man was doing pretty well if
he could protect his own horses"

There is rare sport in store for Chey-
enne lovers of the national game. The
Fort Laramie base ball club and the re
organized Red Stocking nine of this city
will play a series of three games for the
territorial championship and proper
lions of the gate receipts. The contests
will occur mex Saturday, Sunday and
Tuesday, the 18th, 18th and goth inst.
The Fort Laramie club is the strongest
organization of its character in
the northern portion of the county. They
have defeated Lusk and other Wyoming
teams and the famous Fort Robinson
Neb., nine. The Red Stockings have
been very unlucky this season and will
%strenuously endeavor to regain their
former reputation as good ball players.
The Cheyenne boys deeply regret that
the Seventeenth infantry club has dis
banded. 1t comprised nine good ball
players and an equal number of thorough
gentlemen.
An eastern sporting paper has it that
Cheyenne, Denver, Leadville, Pueblo and
Golden will support a genuine western
league next year.

DESERT PATENTS ARRIvINc.
Title to -Four Wyoming Entries Received
Last Evening.

Register Wilson's pleasant face was
wreathed In genial smiles last evening
when a LEADER reporter tackled him for
an item.
Il can accommodate you this time,
sure. said the land Office official. II
have Just received a communication from
Washington which means a great deal to
every citizen of Wyoming, and particu-
larly those who hold ranches. Here are
five patents for desert entries all ready
to be delivered to the proper persona"
Following is a list of the entries. date
OF final proof. number, names and resi-
dences of the fortunate claimants:
Desert entry No. rs, December, 1883,
Alonzo Meyer; Laramie county.
No. 10, January 1885, Sylvester l..
Meyer, Laramie county.
No. 1868, August 1885, Francis R. Hol.
deredge, Nebraska,
No. 367, September, 1885, George w.
Holderedge, Nebraska.
No. 400, February 1886, Benjamin
Hellman, Laramie county.
1t will be noticed that the patents are
not issued In rotation. They also cover
land in widely separated localities. This
apparent discrepancy is easily understood
when it is known hat it is utterly impos-
sible for the special agents to investigate
the merits of the entries in regular order.
These patents will in all likelihood con
tinue to arrive almost daily now hat the
matter has reached the proper hands.
Every claimant of desert land in Wyo-
ming who is entitled to retain his entry
will receive a clear title to the land at an
early day.
As the business of the general land
office was fully four years in arrears when
the present administration assumed CON
control of that department, it does not
require the aid of a magnifying glass for
one to observe that President Cleyeland's
subordinate5 are not idlers.

A Small Blaze.

The fire department was called upon
yesterday afternoon to save a burning out
house in the rear of Judge j. W. Fishers
Office on Ferguson street. The building,
which was used as a storeroom, was com
pletely destroyed and its contents badly
damaged. The edifice was the property
of A. G. McGrcgor. The articles stored
therein where the property of DR.. Stevens,
Judge Fisher and the owners of the res
taurant in that vicinity. The alarm drew
a large crowd, which seemed to take a
great delight in watching the efforts of the
firemen to save the building.

THE LAST DAY.
District Court Adjourns to Sept. ~
After Finishing Business.


Considerable business was transacted in
the district court yesterday, which con-
vened at $50 o'clock in the forenoon.
Sam Raley, Chas. Coleman and Thos.
Jones, petty larcenists serving time, were
discharged from custody. Their prema-
ture liberation is due to a variance in the
penalty fixed by the compiled laws and
revised statutes for the crime for which
they were convicted. Three mouths is
now the maximum time for convicted or
confessed sneak thieves.
Sam Raley is a good natured and indus
trious darkey who has been allowed to
roam about the court house at will since
his incarceration. He was often sent
upon errands by the officials, and was
treated with the consideration Of trust
ed employe. Nevertheless, he Is over
joyed to find himself completely at liberty
once more. Sam celebrated his release
from restraint by vigorously shaking the
hand of every acquaintance he met upon
the street. He secured a steady situation
in less than fifteen minutes after the
termination of his prison career, and
promises TO shake de gang" and faith
fully follow the straight and barrow
path" the remainder of his days.
The motion for a new trial in the
Germs Ketchum cases was set for hearing
yesterday, and an affidavit having an i'm
portant bearing on the trials was expected
to reach this city from Lusk Teusday
evening. On account of its non arrival
the hearing has been postponed until the
Both inst, upon which day the arguments
for the defense and territory will be
heard.
The court ordered an equitable distri-
button of the money recently paid by the
Cheyenne & Burlington Railway company
for a right of way over Kelly's addition.
A demurrer introduced by the defense
in the M. T. Bristol VS.. j. II. Hedges
case. 1t was argued by counsel and taken
under advisement by his honor.
Papers were filed in the case of The
Territory vs.. Union Pacific railway in
Cheyenne. The suit is a formal litigation
to quiet the title to the land occupied by
the capitol building.
Court adjourned until 9 O'Clock a. M,
Friday, Sept. 80.
